What the items mean
- ICR
- Insulin-to-carb ratio: grams of carbohydrate theoretically covered by one unit.
- ISF
- Insulin sensitivity factor: the modeled glucose drop from one unit.
- Target BG
- The glucose target used when calculating a theoretical correction.
- Calculation cap
- A ceiling that stops the simulation from displaying an unusually large total.
- FPU adjustment
- The percentage of the full theoretical Warsaw fat-and-protein amount included.
- Current BG
- The glucose value at the time the strategy is being modeled.
- IOB
- Insulin on board: active insulin from earlier doses, subtracted from the meal wave.
- BG trend
- Direction of glucose movement; falling trends reduce the meal wave and change timing.
- Pre-bolus
- Selected minutes before eating. The small marker shows the site formula's modeled timing.
- Meal wave
- Carb dose plus correction, minus IOB, with any falling-trend reduction applied.
- FPU
- Fat-Protein Unit: 100 kcal from fat and protein, treated by this Warsaw model like a delayed 10 g carbohydrate effect.
- Warsaw wave
- The adjusted theoretical fat-and-protein amount, spread over 3–8 hours based on FPUs.
- Illustrative glucose
- A modeled curve for comparing timing; it is not a CGM prediction or measured result.
- Activity curves
- Relative shapes showing when meal absorption, delayed effects, insulin action, and prior IOB overlap.
